Buttons and links
In Elementor, buttons and links allow you to guide visitors to key pages, products, or external resources. You can customize their text, style, size, icons, and alignment, and set links to internal pages, dynamic URLs, popups, or external destinations. Advanced options let you control hover effects, attributes, and responsive behavior for better usability across devices.
Site settings
Site Settings acts as the central control panel for your website’s Global Design System, allowing you to define universal colors, fonts, and layout defaults in one place. By configuring these settings, you ensure a consistent brand identity across every page, as any change made here – like updating a primary brand color – automatically ripples throughout the entire site.
Widgets basics
Elementor widgets are the individual building blocks, such as text headings, images, or buttons, that you drag from the sidebar to add specific content and functionality to your layout. Each widget comes with its own set of independent controls, allowing you to fine-tune its content, style, and advanced settings (like animations or padding) without affecting the rest of the page.
The editor explained
The Elementor editor functions as a live, visual interface where you can drag-and-drop widgets from a side panel directly onto your page to see changes in real-time. It utilizes a section-column-widget hierarchy, allowing you to structure layouts and customize styles – like margins, colors, and fonts – without writing any code.

While it empowers beginners to build high-quality sites quickly, it also provides developers with advanced tools like custom CSS, Theme Building, and dynamic content integration.
